उत्तमः पुरुषस्त्वन्यः परमात्मेत्युदाहृतः । यो लोकत्रयमाविश्य बिभर्त्यव्यय ईश्वरः ॥ १७ ॥
uttamaḥ puruṣhas tv anyaḥ paramātmety udāhṛitaḥ yo loka-trayam āviśhya bibharty avyaya īśhvaraḥ
Translation
But the highest Person is another, called the Supreme Self, the imperishable Lord who enters the three worlds and sustains them.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
परंतु उत्तम पुरुष तो अन्य ही है, जो परमात्मा कहा जाता है, और जो अविनाशी ईश्वर तीनों लोकों में प्रवेश करके सबका धारण-पोषण करता है।
Commentary
Beyond both the perishable and the imperishable there is a third: the uttama purusha, the highest Person. He is not only a principle but an active Lord (ishvara) who enters and sustains all the worlds. The word anyah, "another," is important: he is distinct from the other two while pervading them.
